Solution Summary

Collinear Points are investigated.

Solution Preview

1) If the points are collinear, the slope of the line joining any two points must be same.
So, we calculate the slope of line joining the points (1, -4) and (5, 10) which is given by
[10-(-4)]/(5-1)=14/4=7/2
so it must be same with the line ...
